LUCKSAD DEIXE

As 'Deixe' proves, combining the composition skills of Lucksad with the production abilities of Grapette results in some impressive sounds. This tune is built around its mesmerising ability to create an ethereal, distant texture. Ringing guitar chords blend into the subtle percussion as if they’re one and the same, while the reverb-heavy vocals end up acting as accompaniments for each other. The semi-rapped Portuguese vocal delivery gives the tune a unique edge, though the chorus (“leave, leave, leave, leave”) that proves how minimalism, used in the right setting, can be just as engaging as a complex melody line. Dive into Lucksad’s back catalogue for some more regular, dreamy releases. - Dan Peeke
